SABAN: NEXT FRIDAY…IS HAWAIIAN SHIRT DAY
Separated at birth? Thanks to reader Thor for the submission proving that Saban may, in fact, be character actor Gary Cole. Meaning that Saban was superb in Talladega Nights last year, and once appeared as “Alan McClafferty” on an episode of Moonlighting, and all but guarantees that a movie will be at least moderately awesome.
All that and a 325 page defensive playbook? Alabama, you got more of a bargain than you’ll ever know, friends.
(Note: We’re also stressing the tensile comic strength of Office Space references here, yes. But for science’s sake, we’re willing to take that chance.)
Step one: Saban unadorned.
Step two: Saban, accessorized:
Step three: Um, yeah….
Alabama, you’re coming on Saturday. Not that you’ll mind one bit. But we’re gonna need you to come in, yeah…all 85,000 of you.

This may be a stretch, but…
Would it be accurate to compare Tom to the Bama nation in the last year?
Miss St loss / initial part of Mal Moore coaching search = Tom trying to kill himself in the garage, and fucking that up too.
Hiring of Nick Saban = accidentally reversing into the street, only to be hit by large truck and receive exactly what he wanted to make life easier.
MNC (hopefully at some point) = Production of Jump to Conclusions mat

Actually, why burn it down? LSU and Auburn enjoy timesharing a second home. Gotta keep up with rich folks from Vandy and Ole Miss (snicker).
I can’t believe you number-challenged (got 12?), our mascot moonlights once a month in our mothers underwear, God forsaking (the Bear, the Saban, all you need is a Holy Spirit, oh wait, that’s Namath, he’s got tons of spirits in him), God forsaken (even He doesn’t love yall) idiots think LSU is going to lose to your no rush defense having team of losers.

LES: Not right now, Saban. I’m, I’m kinda busy. In fact, I’m going to have to ask you to go ahead and just come back another time. I have a meeting with the SECC game and the BCS Title game in a couple of minutes.
SABAN: Uh, I wasn’t aware of a meeting with them.
LES: Yeah, they called me at home.
SABAN: That sounds good, Les. Uh, and we’ll go ahead and, uh, get this all fixed up for you later.

ORGERON: Well, the kind of teams that would lose to a dude like me would.
FULMER: Good Point.
ORGERON: What about you man.. what would you do?

Why did you have to go sticking your nose into this? You just can’t let it go. Always have to have approval from big brother.
Well little brother, the reason I didn’t include au in the post is because Alabama didn’t own Auburn in Jordan-Hare for the majority of “away” games in the second half of the twentieth century, mostly because the games were not played in Jordan-Hare until the 80s.
However, feel free to take the Franchione part and apply it. I mean, for God’s sake, Andrew Zow smoked Auburn that day like Wingnut smokes cock.

#63, just joking. And yes, Zow did smoke us on that day, but Fran, if I’m not mistaken, was only 1-1 against us, as well as LSU, so he doesn’t “own” either team (to say nothing of the fact that a Bammer is defending Fran).
I really don’t get the “Big Brother” thing. We started playing first, and pre-hiatus, we had a lead in the series. We also won 3 conference titles before your first (in the SIAA), and (although we don’t count it, but Bammer logic would if it was theirs- see: 1941) a NC before you.

Living in the past says:
#68:
Fair enough. I think Fran is a shitbag, and I realize he was 1-1. my original response was only concerning victories at an opposing team’s home field. Fran was 1-0 against both.
As far as big brother/little brother, I don’t really buy into it. It’s just another lame shot at au, much like the “bammer” and NASCAR loving redneck lame shots at ua. The only real losers are the ones that actually buy into the stereotypes about the other schools.
I think a lot of the big brother/little brother thing has to do with (insert living in the past, Bear worshipping, etc. joke here) the Bryant years. I wouldn’t know, but the way people talk, and the way a lot of older au fans act, it comes across as some sort of chip on your shoulder. A very big chip. But I digress.
Fuck Auburn. That’s better.

more accomplished or decorated doesn’t mean “big” at least in terms of the term “big brother,” which means “older.” If you want to use Bammer doublespeak and call yourselves “big brother” go right ahead.

Fortunately, I was not alive for most of the Bryant years (born in ‘80), but had I have been alive, I would probably understand the chips on their shoulders, kinda like the chips most Bama fans have on their shoulders for losing to us for 5 years in a row, as if beating us is a birthright, after being spoiled so much during the Bryant era.
That being said, my dad (also an AU grad) was at the Goal Line Stand game against PSU, and I would have love to have seen that one, too, and would have been cheering for the Tide.

MiseanAUfan says:
“The stereotyping, of course, excludes the (insert close relative or farm animal) fucking and studying of animal feces comments usually directed at AU. Because that’s totally true.”
Assuming that’s true, it applies to both schools, at least from understanding of fraternities at Alabama.

Living in the past says:
Haha touche AU, touche. You know, that’s another thing that makes the rivalry so great. Most UA/au fans know a ton about the other school, because most of us have friends that went to the other school, and have made numerous trips to the other school.
